Soon, Chu Feng, Lu Bu, and Guo Jia arrived at the Taoist temple. Hundreds of craftsmen were busy building the Taoist temple. The three of them deliberately took a remote path so as not to affect the construction. When they walked near the temple where gifts were stored, there was a burst of excitement. The sound of crying came from the hall.
Chu Feng turned his head and looked at Lu Bu. If he remembered correctly, in that generous gift list, there was a gift list for two hundred Taoist boys. Could it be that they were captured by force.
Lu Bu, who also heard the child's cry, quickly bowed to explain.
"Immortal chief, the parents of the child sent the child voluntarily and were not forced by Bu. A few days ago, Bu returned to Xiapi and issued a military order. Anyone who sends their children to the Taoist temple to be Taoist boys will be exempted from the corvee for the whole family."
Chu Feng was stunned. When he received ordinary education, he had learned about it in history textbooks. It was a freak created by the ancient dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was the common people working for the country for free. If it is light, it will be over with patience. If it is serious, it will be over. , life could not be saved. The fuse for the demise of the Qin and Sui dynasties was the abuse of corvee. If it were not for the corvee that pushed the people to a dead end, Chen Sheng's ambitions could only be bragging, and Li Shimin's magnificent Tang Dynasty would not have been possible.
Lu Bu actually used the idea of exempting them from the corvee to seduce the people of Pi to voluntarily send their children to be Taoist boys. Fortunately, he could think of it, but the situation was not ideal.
Chu Feng was thinking in his mind, but he didn't stop. He dodged a few times and appeared in the spacious hall. He saw a scene that made him furious. A group of young Taoist boys squatting next to wooden boxes, all with injuries on their faces. , there was even a thin little Taoist boy of seven or eight years old lying on the ground, motionless, with a big muddy footprint on his chest.
"Who hit me?"
Chu Feng looked around with a stern expression. He had a childhood shadow, and what he hated most was beating children.
When the little Taoist boys saw a stranger coming in, their tone was cold. They thought they were going to be beaten again, so they cried even more.
Chu Feng dodged and disappeared into the main hall. He reappeared in the back hall. The gifts in the back hall were several times more than those in the front hall. There were dozens of boxes containing silks, gold cakes, and horseshoe gold, all open. It's very eye-catching.
In the middle of the box, stood a sturdy middle-aged man wearing armor. He was playing with the gold cakes in the box with his left hand and clicking his tongue. In his right hand, there was a bloody rattan, which was very dazzling.
"Monster, it was you who beat up this poor Taoist boy!"
After Chu Feng said this, without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, he ducked over and kicked out with such swiftness that he kicked the middle-aged man away on the spot.
"System, why is this poor man so strong? Could it be that he drank from the spiritual spring last time."
Chu Feng was shocked by the power of his kick. The middle-aged man who was kicked away weighed at least three hundred kilograms with the heavy armor on his body.
"That's right, host, you have been washed and marrowed by the spiritual spring. You are a born top warrior. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are born with divine power. If you don't believe it, if you and Lu Bu compete against each other later, you might be able to overpower him. First of all, this is on the premise that your potential has not been stimulated by Taoist classics. To use a fashionable saying, you have exceeded the scope of human beings."
Chu Feng felt a little better after learning that he had received natural supernatural power, but as soon as he saw the middle-aged man struggling to stand up, anger surged in his heart.
"Host, you are an expert and prudent."
The system reminded Chu Feng to calm down. To deal with such a dirty thing, he would get his hands dirty by doing it himself, so he could just leave it to Lu Bu.
Just when Chu Feng was about to go out to greet Lu Bu, an angry shout came.
"Wei Xu, you are so brave! How dare you beat the immortal Taoist boy."
The person who came was none other than Lu Bu. He rushed over and with lightning speed, raised his strong legs and kicked the dazed middle-aged man down onto a box filled with gold horseshoes. The box was broken on the spot. The golden horseshoes were scattered all over the floor, looking so tempting.
In a short period of time, I was kicked in the chest by two people with natural supernatural powers. Even though the middle-aged man was strong, he could not stand up again. He lay on the ground and could only breathe out, not in. He probably wouldn't lie there for ten and a half days. Don't even think about it. bed.
After finishing his move, Lu Bu turned around and knelt down on one knee, his handsome face full of shame.
"Immortal, it's Bu's fault. It was Bu who listened to the woman and didn't kill the thief Wei Xu, which led to a big mistake. Please punish me, Immortal."
Wei Xu, Chu Feng was shocked. One of the three traitorous generals who betrayed Lu Bu was actually still alive. According to Lu Bu, it was his wife Yan who begged for mercy. It seemed that the rumors about Wei Xu being Lu Bu's brother-in-law were true. .
"What are you going to do with him?"
Chu Feng's expression was indifferent, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. As a cultivator, it is always not good to directly instigate others to do bad things.
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a look of helplessness.
"Sent to a hard labor camp and will not be allowed to leave for life."
Lu Bu was constrained by his wife and did not kill him after all. Such a punishment for Wei Xu might be more severe than killing him directly.
Chu Feng, who didn't have much hatred against Wei Xu, gave up and was about to turn around and leave the back hall when the system's voice sounded.
"Host, you can use the wish bottle to collect gold cakes, horseshoe gold, and silk silk."
Chu Feng stopped when he heard the sound, looked at the open boxes on the floor, and raised his eyebrows slightly. In these worlds, the priceless silks and satins are of no use in the modern world. There is no need to take them away. Gold cakes and gold horseshoes can be taken away. Walk.
After making up his mind, Chu Feng looked at Lu Bu.
"Lu Bu, send someone to deliver the silk here to the Taoist boys' homes. If you beat and scold the Taoist boys again in the future, I won't let you go."
Lu Bu's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. There are three thousand pieces of silk and satin here, which are priceless, and they are all given to the common people. The immortal is really not a rich man, and he doesn't know the value of food and salt. Lu Bu complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute. Chu Feng.
"Chief Immortal, Bu will do it now."
Lu Bu walked out quickly.
Chu Feng looked around, took out the bottle of wish power and was about to collect the gold cakes and gold horseshoes. When he thought of something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"System, what's the formula?"
What I collected this time were dead things. It couldn’t be the funny formula of “if I call you, do you dare to agree?”
"There is no spell, this kind of dead thing, you can just think about it in your mind."
When Chu Feng heard this, he thought about the horseshoe gold and gold cakes in his mind. A strong suction force came from the wish bottle. In the box, the horseshoe gold and gold cakes scattered on the ground rolled for a while, then suddenly flew up, followed by a stream of air, and shrank. Entered into the wishing bottle.
After collecting five hundred gold cakes and one thousand gold horseshoes, the suction power disappeared. Chu Feng closed the lid and walked to the front hall.
Guo Jiazheng was playing with a little Taoist boy. Chu Feng took a quick look and saw that it was the unconscious little Taoist boy just now.
